My First Blog Painting Tutorial

After paying too little attention to my blog, I thought it may be helpful or at least insightful to make a post about how I created my most recent piece "Misunderstood Monster" for this month's competition. Many of you may have already seen a lot of the progress images and well as helping me improve the painting and help guide it to completion, so I give a lot of thanks for that.

If people find it useful then I will add further tutorials/how I painted it posts for my other work and if you have any thoughts on how I could improve my explanations or teachings, then it would be really helpful. You can find the post below

@gary-wilkinson Just read through it and it reads great! It's also a really nice piece. Since I'm going to move on from color studies pretty soon, I may give your tutorial a try and then I can let you know if I have any questions. Thanks for doing this!

@johanna-kim There are many different processes that work and I often find my self jumping between a few depending on the subject and the result I want to have. Sam Nielson has a great video that goes through different processes and their pros and cons, but a lot of it is finding out through your own trial and errors.

Yeah I hope to add more tutorials, is there any specific painting that you would like to see the process of creation?

@gary-wilkinson Thanks for the tip; I'll check out Sam Nielson's video. As for future tutorials, my main issue is with composition, so it would be great to see your planning process for any of your illustrations.
